Well I think Im done for awhile hovering craigslist every 20 mins. I have about 10 working games and dont really need to buy any more untill they are fixed up cosmeticaly, I have been spedning allot in the last 4 months on games and just have forgotten that I have stuff that needs to be done. I will still be busy on here with my games just not going to try to buy any more. I say try because this hobby is more addictive than crack!! Dont get me wrong if I find some more 75$ or less games Ill probably grab them but Im not going to be looking like I have in the past couple of months. 7 or so of my games needs some cosmetic work on them so it will keep me busy for awhile.

I have just written this and I know its going to be tough to resist!!

Didn't you have another thread about "a rule to follow" or something? That seemed like a hard rule to follow. Maybe I am thinking of another KLOV member. Good luck with that. Find a 12 step meeting. Call your sponsor. Buy more games. :)
 
I need to be done for a while. I'm out of space and yet I still look around. There's nothing wrong with looking, but if I the right deal comes along I'll jump on it.

I dont think that was me
 
....this hobby is more addictive than crack!! ....

This made me laugh - definitely true. I'll never, ever say that I'm done and have all the games I want. I thought I only wanted 1 game, then only 2...etc. It never seems to end.

Good luck getting caught up on your existing games.

Im far from done, just as of right now Im done, maybe 2 months form now Ill start buying more after I repair all the cosmetics on the ones I have now
 
Well, this is something we've never heard before... :rolleyes:

Good luck with your goal. Lol. No, really, good lu... (laughing maniacally)
 
Yeah I said the same thing and tried a couple of times, but the most is lasted was about a week. I'm way deeper than 10 games. I have no room as it is and so why the hell do I keep buying, I ask myself. This hobby is 5x more addicting than crack I would assume. Even when you dont have the money for a game or part, you somehow seem to get it buy not paying a bill or selling something to get that money for the "fix". I actually just recalled me saying (2 days ago) I'm not going to get anything else till my basement is back to normal. Guess what I just bought a game last night. Is there such thing as a Arcade Shrink?
 
I took six months off and it really helped. Now, I'm back looking and searching for that next "must have" to show up on Craigslist in my area.

I have this week off and plan to recap three monitors, fix an AR2 board, and that persistent sound cutting out on Super Sprint.

Think of what you may have missed while you were "off". :D

I bet you're right. All of a sudden an Exidy gun game like Cheynenne/Crossbow/Chiller became available in KC during that time. Not! I swear, I haven't seen one at Auction in thise area ever. I'm begining to believe I dreamed playing it back in the day. :)
 
eh, your never done, just taking a temporary arcade leave of absence.

I quit awhile ago because life is getting in the way, but im still checking craigs and will jump on something if it comes my way.

Yeah but I have pissed off the wife a little with it
 
thats normal :D

mines not too into arcade stuff either but finally realized how cool and nice it was to have them when we had family over for christmas.

There are very rare women like gamegirl who are wives that dont only put up with it but also are game crazy. I still find it odd how male-dominated the arcade collecting scene is.

My wife doesn't mind playing them once in a blue moon but she thinks its a waste of money
 
i have around 25 games right now and i am totally out of space. need to clean out the garage...

this is a great time to be buying....but a fairly lousy time to be selling the average game.
 
Take your wife to an auction and find out what she likes. Once you get a game or two for her, shell leave you alone. My wife now has a Megatouch and a House of the Dead, and that HOTD was the most expensive game I ever bought so she cant argue about the "waste of money" aspect anymore.
